Why France Could Be The Best Place To Take Travel By Motorhome In Europe

Whilst a lot of Motorhome users tour overseas regularly, It can be quite daunting for someone to try touring outside of the UK for the first time. Probably the best place to start would be France. France is a beautiful country, with areas to suit everyone, from mountains and rivers to beaches.

Motorhomes in the country can park almost anywhere, provided there is no notice indicating otherwise. There are multiple campsites in almost every French town or village, some sites are fine for an overnight stop, and some would make a good holiday destination in themselves. Larger commercial sites offer free pitches outside peak times. No advance booking needed. Some smaller sites can be discovered usually off major routes and these can be even more beautiful.

Roads are quieter; ample picnic spots and comfort stops. There’s a wide variety of places and campsites for everyone. From large, all-singing sites with pools to cozy farm-type spots.

French food is very good value, with a three-course Motorhome meal and wine available for around 10 Euros upwards.

Parking in France is also a lot easier as it is mostly free, even down by the beach areas. Many historic sites are free to walk around. You can visit attractions inexpensively.

Being able to speak the Motorhome language would give a significant advantage, but on the larger Motorhome sites usually they will be able to speak English.

French markets are also an attractive viewpoint. Villages often have weekly markets with local produce, both homegrown and artisanal. Having a campsite close to a village with a Motorhome has an advantage, so you can have a morning stroll or visit the local bakery.

France is a good starter for first-time travelers. Because it is such a large country it has something for anyone. Remember to drive on the other side. Book a campsite near a port for a shorter first day’s journey.

Once you have gained the confidence of traveling in France with your Motorhome, then the rest of Europe will open up to your unforgettable adventures. Popular destinations are Germany, Austria, and even Italy where the climate is much warmer.
